Issues in the Integration of Planning and Scheduling for Enterprise Control

چکیده
Effective control of large-scale enterprises requires a combination of long-range planning to identify appropriate strategies for meeting objectives and efficient scheduling of resources to ensure timely completion of tasks associated with those strategies. Given the highly dynamic operating environment of many enterprises, planning and scheduling must both be adaptive to unexpected events and tightly linked to ensure responsiveness and agility. This paper discusses key issues in integrating planning and scheduling technologies to support ongoing management of enterprise operations in dynamic environments. It outlines a series of models for integrating planning and scheduling technologies, and discusses their strengths and weaknesses with respect to continuous operations management for complex enterprises. The paper also describes a new research effort that seeks to develop a dynamic integrated planning and scheduling system that can support a broad range of interactions and control strategies for the domain of air operations.

متن کاملA Hierarchical Production Planning and Finite Scheduling Framework for Part Families in Flexible Job-shop (with a case study)
Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

Integration of production planning and scheduling is a class of problems commonly found in manufacturing industry. This class of problems associated with precedence constraint has been previously modeled and optimized by the authors, in which, it requires a multidimensional optimization at the same time: what to make, how many to make, where to make and the order to make. It is a combinatorial,...
